Yura gave it her best shot. I feel sorry for that injured shikigami. Muchi’s character felt a bit weak, there was definitely room to explore him more deeply. I like the fashion style that inspired his look.

Nurarihyon memang tipe karakter yang kelihatannya santai banget tapi auranya nggak pernah bisa dianggap remeh 😂 Tamazuki juga punya first impression yang cukup kuat. Cuma transisi menuju bagian baru terasa agak cepat buatku. Baru aja mulai nyaman sama satu arc, anime ini udah seperti bilang, "Oke, sekarang kita punya masalah lain"

There was not much happened in this ep, until that cliffhanger ending. Not enough action on that Nurarihyon face-off, and that was a let-down. I was expecting action on that one, but it was kind of strong-like genjutsu thing for me, to show the Supreme Commander's stance. New set of characters appeared, and that kept the pacing of this ep dragged down. Love triangle is starting to brew, too.

Episode Context

The midpoint of the season pivots hard into new territory. This episode introduces Tamazuki and his Seven Shadows, establishing a fresh antagonist faction that immediately shifts the power dynamics of the series. The tone balances two speeds effectively, lighthearted character moments between Rikuo's companions provide breathing room before the atmosphere tightens around the emerging threat. Nurarihyon and Rikuo both feature prominently, grounding the episode in the generational weight the series does best. The pacing is deliberately measured, prioritizing setup and character positioning over action spectacle. Think of this as a chessboard episode: pieces are being placed with clear intent. The underlying tension is palpable even during quieter scenes, and the introduction of the new antagonists carries genuine menace. A strong pivot point that rewards patient viewers.
